For a plan B, I think with your hairy outer, and apparently motile tongue, some ladies might hire you as an escort for some monkey business?

Why didn't your last Plan B work? What was it and why did it fail?

Sounds pretty low key and niche, but when used commercially it could literally revolutionise agriculture by avoiding the need for pesticides and would make the patent owner millions.

Originally posted by woohoo View PostRight I know you are making a joke but when I first started driving around the continent I used to panic about filling up.
I would have defo paid a pound for a vr app that had all the different types and their translations.
Something like a topless Helga showing the vr viewer how to fill her up, the car I mean.
Come to think of it, garages have number plate recognition systems. So why can't the garage do a check to see what type of fuel the car takes and warn you if you unhook the wrong nozzle!
(It would have to be advisory, asking you to press a button on the keypad to confirm, because for example you might be driving a petrol car but wanting to fill a can of diesel for some other vehicle.)

Originally posted by Platypus View PostSo go on and patent it !!! AFAIK, you don't have to construct it and make it work in order to file the patent.
Otherwise you could just patent a 3D human organ printer or some similar "aspirational" device that might take decades to realise (and having been patented in abstract would deprive anyone of the financial incentive to actually develop one that worked).
